Re: HELP!!! Priv corrupt - events 9297 and 467

if you're going to just rename or delete the edb. and stm. files, you'll end
up with just a bunch of empty mailboxes...then you can use exmerge to merge
the data from those pst files back into the mailboxes...what's the largest
pst file? your database will most likely be much larger than it was before,
as SIS will be broken...and yes, dial-tone is the way to go, when you have a
good backup to restore from...

I'm exmerging out now - thankfully there's only 34 mailboxes, and only a
few are big. Should be finished soon. While I've been waiting for this I
was looking at the dial tone method - neat trick if you have a good
backup.

When I move all the files out of mdbdata and restart the services, will
the mailboxes be available to exmerge in or will I have to touch each one?
If so, will sending a global email do the trick or will I have to use OWA
or somesuch? It's been so long since I was Exchange-based that I've
forgotten so much stuff.... very frustrating day.

Thanks again for all your suggestions,
SusanV

Nope, the restore to the recovery group failed:
Unable to restore Exchange data to LSGSBS\Microsoft Information
Store\First Storage Group,
check the application event log for more information

Looks like maybe Exmerge is the way to go?

yes, a restore is the best way to go on something like this...and if
you got a good backup, that's a good sign...

I just ran a backup of the first storage group, ran without errors.

Now I'm going to try restoring from Monday to a RSG, see how that
goes.

Thanks again for your help.

that would be correct...how many mailboxes are we talking about,
here? what happens if you try to do a backup now? does it fail? if
you try to restore Monday's backup to an RSG, does it work?

Hi Susan,
Backup failed last night, and I'm not sure when this issue started,
so Monday night's backup may be corrupt also. The only known good
backup I have is from Friday, and since Monday's was succesful the
logs from tjhe weekend are gone, correct?

the recommendation in a case of serious corruption is to restore
from backup...that would probably be your best bet...

SBS2003 R2, SP1, Exchange is SP2 (version 6.5.7638.1)

After a series of power failures where the UPS was unable to
recharge enough to bring the server down gracefully after powering
back up, I am getting EventID 9297 and 467 (full errors pasted
below) in the Application log every few minutes. The store mounts
OK but users keep getting Exchange is unavailable every few
minutes. Searching the web, I found very little on these errors,.

I dismounted the private store, backed it up, and ran eseutil:
C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin> eseutil /d
c:\progra~1\exchsrvr\mdbdata\priv1.edb
results:
Operation terminated with error -338 (JET_errBadParentPageLink,
Database corrupted) after 1308.32 seconds.

Then ran isinteg:
C:\Program Files\Exchsrvr\bin>isinteg -s lsgsbs -fix -verbose -l
C:\isinteg.pri -test alltests
Results:
. . . . . SUMMARY . . . . .
Total number of tests : 21
Total number of warnings : 7
Total number of errors : 0
Total number of fixes : 1991
Total time : 0h:7m:33s

Reran isinteg, no errors warnings or fixes. Reran eseutil /g, says
database is still corrupt. The store will still mount, and mail is
still accessible, but I'm still getting the errors. Currently I
have the store dismounted to keep users out.

I thought to create a new store and move the mailboxes, but after
creating a new storage group, I cannot add a new mailbox store,
error says "This storage group already contains the maximum number
of stores allowed" - I assume this to be an SBS limitation?

So now what??? Any ideas before I pull out the plastic and call
MS???

ANY help would be appreciated!!!
